On view from November 6 – December 31 2025
The Youth Council welcomes you to CTRL+Art+Create, a collection of artwork from middle and high school students across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties.
Organized entirely by the Tampa Museum of Art’s Youth Council, this exhibition was created to provide a professional and inclusive space for the next generation of artists to display their work. Less than a third of the almost 200 works submitted were accepted by the Youth Council. The Youth Council prioritized openness and accessibility, encouraging students to express their unique perspectives through a variety of mediums and themes. The works on view were created by artists in grades 6 to 12 working in mediums ranging from painting and sculpture to jewelry and fiber arts. The artists addressed themes like materiality, self-discovery, environmentalism, trauma, love, and current events.
CTRL+Art+Create invites visitors to view a diverse array of artwork from students around Tampa Bay.
The Youth Council and their Programs are supported by Tampa Museum of Art’s NextGen members and Art & Aces.
